[bright ibex]

Get AIOS Boston Fix, fast travel as much as possible, go through unpopulated areas, avoid combat

Trust me it made me quit fo4 for a while, there's no real solution

[lilac saffron]

Seems like they buffed Kellogg in Survival mode. I used to be able to kill him with a mini nuke and 2 bottlecap mines (and a final shot to the head when he's down).
Or maybe it was just that I was level 52, cause he survived a mini nuke to the face and 5 bottlecap mines. He didn't even get crippled. Still, only took a few shots after that though.

[magic current]

i forget the nuka world stuff but i know preston gets angry at you at some point but dose he/the minutemen turn hostile?

or is the only outcome an angy preston

[bright ibex]

If you attack minutemen settlements, the minutemen will attack you, yes

[magic current]

im guessing MM settlements are the ones that they send you to?

or at some point do MM garrison in the settlements?

[bright ibex]

Yes

[magic current]

hmm how many settlements dose the MM take over

[magic current]

i guess a better question is how many raider outposts do i need to complete the nukaworld stuff

[bright ibex]

I think 5

[winter temple]

Anyone knows why my game keeps crashing when ever I come anywhere close to the big town area near the CIT ruins and hangmans alley?

[clear remnant]

Fallout 4's base game is poorly optimized in the downtown area. If its on the PlayStation you should install Fallout 4 Unofficial patch

Or Boston fps fix or Previs Repair pack

If they are on PS ofc

I play on PC so I'm not sure what mods are on PS due to the limitations

[torpid galleon]

They aren't on PS4 as far as I'm aware due to the asset restriction PS4 mods have

For PC, PRP is your main choice, XB1 has a partial version of that, but it's buggy and won't be fixed for a while due to reasons out of my control currently

[winter temple]

Its on the pc

Well the bugs for me

So previs repair pack should help? Alright ill try and find it

[twin geyser]

fun fact idiot savant is a good perk even with 10 int

[daring lake]

ive been stuck on the loading screen for awhile now, any help?

[twin geyser]

are you alt tabbed or have anything taking focus?

question though
anyone know a quick way to acumulate like 3-5 thousand concrete?

[lilac saffron]

Other than shipments of concrete - Console Command

[severe berry]

Check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URV7MlARhpg

[odd carbon]

3 settlements to get the final mission, 8 to get everything for a full raider play through

Unfortunately depending on when you become friendly with Preston, he may not become a companion again

[daring lake]

any useful tips for S.T.R.E.N.G.T.H?

[cinder harness]

I can’t get the FCOM mod to work on Xbox. I downloaded the suggested mods as well as starting a new game and it doesn’t work for me

[latent mesa]

Playing fallout 4 and everyone in goodneighbor let fly at me for taking an aluminum can off the ground, crinkled up full of holes, like litteral garbage off the ground

[pure sigil]

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

[blazing swallow]

Random thought but it would have been a neat touch if legendary laser weapons had their beams changed to green,

[lilac saffron]

The new shipments of concrete give you 100 and 200 concrete each, cheaply (a few hundred caps) and they weigh nothing. So getting bags of concrete is a waste of time.

Only problem is that you need to find the right trader, but that's just something you learn as you play.

[lilac saffron]

What's the best FO4 DLC and why is it Automatron?

[pure sigil]

My preference would be Far Harbor

[blazing swallow]

As long as we all agree that they are all better than Nuka world, since they don't try so hard to get you to be evil by dangling blatantly overpowered rewards and fail because no one likes the evil routs

[lilac saffron]

Nuka world is great

[blazing swallow]

I know, but it would have been better if they had put less effort into the dead end that the raider stuff turned out to be,

[torpid galleon]

I would say Nuka World myself, but this has the caveat of never setting foot in Far Harbor. (I need to really do that one of these days)

[cyan rivet]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

[lilac saffron]

I play the evil route

And I love it

[severe berry]

From the video, the few bags of concrete they pick up really isn't going to help get that person to 3,000+ concrete, but I figured it would be helpful to show who you can get shipments from at least.

[lilac saffron]

I haven't played far harbor either

I'm not in a good situation in my current playthrough, I have no caps and no ammo in almost every gun

[odd otter]

do you need to buy the DLCs alongside the game on steam? it says I had all of the DLCs + Game (duh) added to my steam yet it seems like I got no indication of any of them being active

it says I own it on steam and everything but I never got any indication for it like Fallout 3 and NV do

[jolly wigeon]

Is this for a specific DLC or all of them?

[sturdy viper]

He probably doesn't realize you have to reach a certain level for all of them to activate ...they don't activate on Startup.

[jolly wigeon]

If that may be the case. these should help:
Far Harbor DLC: https://beth.games/3u17zel
Nuka-World DLC: https://beth.games/3ODo21F

[sturdy viper]

If he makes it to sanctuary and opens up the workshop and has Manufacturing and cages.

[sturdy viper]

Why did you tag me with that? I'm not the one that thought they had a problem.

[jolly wigeon]

I was only replying to your post 😅

[odd otter]

all of them

[odd otter]

im like lvl 7 or 8

[sturdy viper]

Have you opened the workshop at sanctuary and if you have warehouse's Barn cages and Manufacturing

I think you need to be at least level 20 for the first one to start activating

[odd otter]

yeah

[sturdy viper]

You'll get radio signals for automatron and Nuka world, but far Harbor you have to kind of playthe game or know where it is.

[odd otter]

ok so i didn't screw up when buying it thank god

[sturdy viper]

I always forget about Vault tec... I think a traumatron is maybe level 20 vault-tec is like level 25 and Nuka world is level 30, I can't remember if there's a radio signal for far Harbor or if it's a quest somebody sends you on, not to create any spoilers.

[odd otter]

ah ok

because as i said, i load up the game after waiting like 3 hrs to download it, load up do the entire beginning of the game and everything, get out the vault and im waiting for the notifications for all of the DLC like fallout 3 and NV, and it never popped up so i got very scared id need to spend more money lol

[sturdy viper]

But anyway if you do have cages and Manufacturing warehouses and barns which come from Far Harbor in your build tab at Sanctuary your DLC downloaded... and all the DLC came out after everybody had played the game, so if you could start them right off the bat you would get your ass kicked.

[odd otter]

ok

[sturdy viper]

However the Vault stuff doesn't show up in your build tab till you visit the vault

[odd otter]

oh ok

[sturdy viper]

@jolly wigeon wow I never realized you could start them right off the bat if you knew where they were... which seems like a really bad idea!!!! Also though you left out a link to Vault tec.

And I guess technically you can start automatron if you come across the robots fighting

[jolly wigeon]

The 2 I linked have specifics. I do not think the other 4 do.

[sturdy viper]

The 2 you linked said they have no specific level.

[jolly wigeon]

I didn't say specific level. Just specifics in general.

[sturdy viper]

I know all them have radio signals except Far Harbor, but I do know if you know where far Harbor is and how to get there you can go early.

But I have been playing since day one and watched the performance go downhill with each update.

[white yacht]

can someone tell me y when i click on mods in main menu it says initializing and continues to load

[sturdy viper]

Sometimes the Bethesda site is super slow

[white yacht]

how slow can it get

[sturdy viper]

It depends on your internet connection and traffic

Sometimes it's taking a while, and then sometimes I've stopped and restarted the game and it was instant.

[white yacht]

i tryed to restart but i am playing on pc and it would not stop on steam

[sturdy viper]

I don't know how to help with that

[plain timber]

guys i need help

I was in lexington and I killed the guy in the power armor with the fatman, I made a quick trip to the sanctuary because I didn't have space and when I returned to lexington the corpse is no longer there

[sturdy viper]

Bodies deteriorate and disappear after a certain time just like vendor resets.

[plain timber]

but i went to sanctuary and return y fast travel

[sturdy viper]

And somebody's deteriorate faster depending on the reload time.

And if that happened when the game reset it disappeared

I've got Gunner cages and Farm with a 16 cages, sometimes if I get a lot of stealth Boy gunners I will only be able to collect from 14 bodies not 16 by the time I kill them all.

[lilac saffron]

It depends on the circumstance, just like respawn rates. Some bodies are permanent and must be deleted with console command, others disappear within the default despawn times, whereas other despawn after a day or two. A select few skeletons can't even be removed by console commands, at least not in the traditional way of point-and-click (cause they seem to have no ID)

The respawn/despawn may also depend on whether you're in Survival Mode or not. I forgot cause I always play on Survival.

[lilac saffron]

You did nothing wrong, I just pointed out the fact that the video is outdated (albeit still useful, I pick up bags of concrete all the time, it's super useful in Survival Mode early on to get your first Powered Water Pump and concrete floors).

[pure sigil]

I have an idea that that guy respawns. I'm not positive though. Maybe someone can verify.

[quaint flicker]

I need serious help.

I recently deleted a texture mod in fallout and now items all over the map are purple.

What do I do?

[pure sigil]

@quaint flicker Is this PC (Steam)?
You can try validating the files in Steam.
If that doesn't work you will need to reinstall.
If your on console, reinstalling is really the only option to re-aquire the files.

[torpid galleon]

Already helped them in the other channel

As far as I can tell, vortex uninstall of a HD replacer mod set (Luxor 2K) obliterated their texture archives on PC

[pure sigil]

Wonderful, glad the Steam validation found and re aquired the necessary files.

[opal tulip]

Hi everyone, is there a mod (on console) that will allow me to actually play in the downtown Boston region of the game? I keeps crashing whenever I go near there!

[round bronze]

My game corrupted on xbox? I loose nuka world power armors and loot. Help

[zinc ridge]

if I remember fo4 correctly any NPC can enter your parked power armor if you leave a core in it

[round bronze]

Ye but I just want them parked. I lost my quantum power armor cuz of that

[zinc ridge]

take the core with you

[quaint flicker]

There are some mods that make Boston more stable. I can send you one if you'd like. I know in some parts of Boston my FPS drops to 30, and I have my FPS locked at 50. Hopefully in the next gen version they'll make the game more playable and fix the crashing issues.

[quaint flicker]

Try this. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/26286

I haven't used it, but it looks to do what you're asking.

It doesn't work with Spring Cleaning if you use that mod.

Found another one by BenRierimanu. Thing is this mod will effect the entire game. This will effect mods that you have downloaded, so proceed with caution. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/46403

[opal tulip]

is there a console version?

[torpid galleon]

If I recall, there's a port of it and a variant of my mod on beth.net, but there's a known issue with Far Harbor being "broken" in a few cells while modded.

I can't recommend the vanilla data version of BFPSFix as a result, for XB1 users.

@opal tulip See if https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/64405 works out for you, though I'm aware there's object flicker in a few spots.

[latent flax]

Man I hope so.
Even a car explosion causes it to immediately crash/freeze.

[odd otter]

Is there a use for almost dead fusion cores?

I fought some legendary robot and I used up almost all of my fusion core's power

[pure sigil]

If you are getting crashes with explosions turning off weapon debris could help, although if it's in downtown Boston I'm not sure how much.

[latent flax]

I'm on Xbox, so that's literally impossible. No Console Commands on that.

[pure sigil]

The setting is in the launcher, Options > Advanced > Weapon Debris off.

[blazing swallow]

You don't have a launcher on Xbox

[pure sigil]

Learn something new every day don't we.

[blazing swallow]

Yep, would be nice to have more stuff like that in the options menu

[lilac saffron]

Yeah you can sell them. They're good money.

Man, I haven't got a single Two-Shot weapon drop on this playthrough, although I shouldn't complain. I did get an Explosive Combat Shotgun and an Explosive Assault Rifle.

Level 75 and mostly just garbage drop.

Trying to find a Defiant DB Shotgun to see if its any good, since it's 2x damage every second shot.

Actually, a Never-Ending DB Shotgun is probably better in terms of DPS.

[quaint flicker]

Anyone have an idea when the next gen update will come out?

[lilac saffron]

"some point in 2023" afaik.

[proven bluff]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/788853100890816522/1046480271215689828/IMG_5679.jpg

We are aware that fallout 4 have strange occurrences but that’s because it’s set in Boston, all intentional xD

[wooden cave]

On my first playthrough, I found a two-shot gauss rifle and an explosive minigun within minutes of one another in Far Harbor. (I probably should have bought a lottery ticket that day).

[lilac saffron]

Is there a easy way to beat kellogg

[zinc ridge]

you know he's there, you know he's a bad guy, you got a nuke launcher . . .

[lilac saffron]

Oh

I didn't think about that

[lilac saffron]

I always use a combo of Fat Man and bottlecap mines. On Survival Mode he can even survive a direct nuclear blast to the face, so you need a bit extra to finish him off.

Ok

Cause I just got it on my computer n I just wanted to know so when I get to that part I have what I need

[lilac saffron]

I always call my Two-Shot Gauss Rifle "Ultima Weapon" and Explosive Miniguns "Planet Cracker" xD

The Instigating Gauss Rifle is probably better because it's true double damage and it's enough to insta-kill most enemies (so every shot is 2x).

By comparison, Instigating Hunting Rifles feel kinda meh.

Always fun to occasionally kill 2 enemies in one shot though, with the Two-Shot effect.

[ivory haven]

Hey Fancy Vader. How long have you had issues with Fallout 4 crashing in the Boston Region?

[torpid galleon]

Not to piggy back on this support request, but I do have a mod that reduces the draw calls in the Boston Commons cluster, which may or may not help here, depending on where they are.

https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4290378

I am aware there is minor object flicker with the XB1 versions of the mods, I can't currently fix it without fully rebuilding the information of the entire game and that's way too big to fit right now.

Fixed the reply chain. Apologies to the moderator.

[untold furnace]

Hey guys

[blazing swallow]

I know, I activated the the lure that's drawing them in,

We are going to get us a new flag!

[lilac saffron]

Hey, I need a hand with something.

I was wondering if I can get a hand with FO4. The game keeps crashing whenever loading a save file, exit save, or anything even at minimum settings. and right now is literally unplayable.

All vanilla, no mods are being used. I have no idea what's going on, as it worked just fine last night but now is broken.

I have tried restarting my game and computer, and verified file integrity on Steam.

Nevermind, for some reason a quicksave ~15 minutes back allowed me to load up and in.

[zinc ridge]

remember the old FO3/FO4 cure all - load your last save that can load just before everything went bonkers, get killed ( on PC - open console type in player.kill close console -- fast insta death ) then let let the game reload - immediately save again -- this burns out any stray scripts running in the background and cures many insta crashes

[lilac saffron]

Anyone else ever experienced issues with mole rat holes persisting at Red Rocket? They've been there since I first met Dogmeat, 80 levels ago. I'm on PlayStation.

[lilac saffron]

IIRC, most bodies and "debris" from fights will persist if you activate the Workshop there. Bodies and skeletons can be resolved by manually dragging them somewhere off (hold interact, you may have to strip them a little first like if they had any Power Armor), skeletons you can use the manual carry to pick up a broom, mop, etc and push them off the map or into a hole that way.

[lilac saffron]

The mole rat corpses disappeared almost instantly, it's their ambush holes in the ground I'm stuck with. I've tried sleeping in an interior cell far away for 30 in game days, but no luck. I think these holes are permanent.

[lilac saffron]

Yep.

You can't really do anything without mods.

Once you activate the workshop, the holes become permanent.

[silk mortar]

I just hit level 2965 on fallout took forever but I finally did it

[lilac saffron]

does anyone else wanna just randomly kill preston garvey?

[quaint flicker]

E v e r y o n e

[untold furnace]

You can't, i allways come back general.

[lilac saffron]

oh god

[silk mortar]

I swear the amount of times I’ve tried to kill him

[lilac saffron]

he just cant DIE

[echo canopy]

has anyone crashed in less than 3mins or 4 after starting the game?

[lilac saffron]

Not in my game you don't.

Meat grinders are wonderful tools.

[lilac saffron]

Could be your load order if you use mods.

If on the PC and you have one of the newer Nvidia cards check to make sure Weapon Debris is turned off.

[echo canopy]

thanks

[silk mortar]

Yes I have let’s just say to many mods at once

[warm parrot]

Hello my friends. does anybody know how to change the language of Fallout 4 on a PS4? I recently bought my dad the game but he doesnt know any English. I have tried every method I found online but couldnt resolve it. Any help will be appreciated!

[long plank]

Have you tried the system language and see if the game adjust to that?

[lilac saffron]

IIRC, he can only die post-game, after completing The Nuclear Option.

[sharp gate]

In my current game, Preston lies dead in the glowing sea. Using skk's Preston is killable mod.

[magic current]

had some weird bug happen in the hole in the wall quest XD

eveythings AI shut down even my companion that i came in with

[atomic lark]

Hey!

For those of you who’ve played Fallout 4 Nuka World. I’ve completed the main storyline quests and I’m the General of the Minutemen.

I sided with the Raiders in the Nuka World DLC and claimed 8 outposts in the Commonwealth. If I still do Open Season, can he be a companion?

[atomic lark]

he as in Preston Garvey

[magic current]

XD i feel so bad for prestons back XD

something about his animation setup keeps making him lean back like hes in a lowrider

[atomic lark]

Would you know?

[magic current]

deadass every time i turn around hes rotated

[pure sigil]

@atomic lark doing open season and becoming an enemy of the raider gangs will return Preston's dialogue to normal.

The raiders at the commonwealth settlements you took over while being the overboss will become hostile and you can clear them out and retake those settlements for the commonwealth too.

[atomic lark]

So regardless of how far I progress with the raiders in the Nuka World DLC. If I complete Open Season — I will be able to have him as a companion, correct?

[pure sigil]

Yes

[atomic lark]

Lit. Thanks!

I want to progress as far as I can since there’s loot with the gauntlet appearances that you can’t get otherwise.

[pure sigil]

Get Gage's affinity to max for his perk first because he will also turn hostile during open season.

[atomic lark]

He’s already max and I have the perks from the gangs.

Will I lose those if I complete Open Season? @pure sigil

[pure sigil]

No once perks are earned they are permanent

Enjoy the massacre once your ready to start 😁

[atomic lark]

Haha, thanks.

[atomic lark]

I’m tempted to try and take Sanctuary but that place I’ve built to be a fortress.

Over 1,000 defense and traps

[pure sigil]

Is that a commonwealth settlement still?
Is Preston there too?

[atomic lark]

I’ve moved companions to Vault 88 and the Castle

And it is still one

I feel it’s super easy to get maximum happiness with raiders

They want booze and drugs… you don’t even have to have them tender crops

[pure sigil]

So long as none of the original 5 still live in Sanctuary you can try and take it for the raiders. If any of the original 5 are there it might be a good idea to leave it in case it causes a bug with Preston.

[atomic lark]

Gotcha

I’ve completed all main storyline quests so it wouldn’t be a problem anyway

[amber ruin]

I just bought fallout4 during the steam sale, but i can't change the resolution to 3440x1440 ? 21:9 if it matters, is this still 2010? Doesnt it support widescreen?

[pure sigil]

@amber ruin Fallout 4 doesn't support 21:9 resolutions.
You can force it with edits to the .ini file but the UI and HUD will look squashed or broken.
However you might be able to find a nexus mod fix you can try if you don't mind modding your game.

[ivory haven]

Chillinbacon, Our following FAQ goes over how 21:9 is not supported in Fallout 4: https://help.bethesda.net/answer/34810

[severe berry]

I posted about this earlier, but it was for 2160 x 1080 resolution. I'm sure you can try with your current resolution to see what happens. Link here: #fallout-4-chat message

Also, be aware modding breaks achievements! Once you install a mod you must find a mod to enable achievements again and install that before playing or it might mess up your character save and stop you from getting any future achievements.

[torpid galleon]

I do believe there are 21:9 patching mods on the nexus, if that helps at all. I'm still on OG 1080p here, so I have no clue if they are any good.

As technically the engine will display the 21:9 resolution, but the HUD elements and other things will look awkward, thus the unsupported note as per Narathani above.

[severe berry]

Hopefully the fix-up they are working on for next year will add 21:9 resolutions. This would make me happy.

[lilac saffron]

Always fun coming up with names for Leg. Weapons - Maser Musket, Blazer Musket, Taser Musket, Crazier Musket, Razer Musket.

Lazier Musket

[proven elm]

I like the name Lazier Musket. 🤣

[viral tundra]

Replayed Far Harbor and I forgot how hard the red death boss was. Took multiple mini nukes, hundreds of ammo, and some luck to take it out. Was a long fight but rewarding fight.

[magic current]

XD doing the hole in the wall quest lets pray that i do not get the no AI bug again

[lethal fog]

ps4

[viral tundra]

I must have died like 12 times to it. Surprised its not talked about much on here

Pack stimpacks and mininukes. Pretty impressed on hard bethesda actually made this boss

[lilac saffron]

Would love to see someone make a Versus video: 500 Kelloggs against 1 Red Death.

Red Death wins

Mariner's like: "Told ya, you fools!"

[viral tundra]

Don’t even think that many kelloggs would win. Red Death absorbed mini nukes like .38s. Such a hard boss, but a great addition to fo4

[lilac saffron]

Yeah Mini-Nukes makes him stronger, like Captain Marvel.

[warm parrot]

Yes I have but didn't work

[thorny vigil]

Red Death was incredibly easy. No one figured out if you use a mysterious serum on yourself, it does half damage and you do double? That plus getting it to clip into and get stuck on your boat makes the fight childs play.

[topaz haven]

If you have a good build then it's easy

Even on hard

[atomic lark]

Does anyone know if you can receive a mission to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel after destroying the Institute with the Railroad and the Minutemen (while allied/not enemy of the Brotherhood)?

[atomic lark]

I’m looking for the mission

[thick arch]

Hello

so I heard about a new patch for FO4

what will it contain?

also will the creation club content be free with us that has season passes.

[full mango]

https://fallout.bethesda.net/en/article/jfwd8PsUw8r3pKrO1wOc5/fallout25-conclusion-interviews-events-perks

Info is in this article

[thick arch]

what creation club content?

[full mango]

All currently available info is in that article. More info will be released at a later date

[thick arch]

Ohh and is the creation club content set to free with us that has season passes

[ashen whale]

Does anyone know how to get the institute paint for power armor after it go kaboom

[thick arch]

@ashen whale maybe a mod can help

[ashen whale]

I would but I'm in ps4 grinding trophy's

[thick arch]

Is there a throphy for collecting painsjobs?

@ashen whale It should be aviable after completeing Nuclear family

[lilac saffron]

Do the DLCs for this game often go on sale?

[lilac saffron]

No

[lilac saffron]

Damn. Does any of that Creation Club stuff have a free method as well?

[lilac saffron]

Every so often they do have a couple of items up for free but it's random and usually not anything good.

[lilac saffron]

Aw. Better than nothing though!

[lilac saffron]

If you get the game just check into the Creation Club menu once or twice a week.

[lilac saffron]

I actually just finished my first full playthrough (bouncing between Hard and V. Hard) recently, and just started my first Survival.

Thankfully I'm not worried about 100% Achievements since like 30 of them are behind DLC, so I can start doing modded stuff.

[lilac saffron]

Check around Christmas they might have another sale for them then.

[thick arch]

Creation club is dlc

Why should I when having a season pass have to pay extra

[nimble island]

I mean... You did the equivalent of about 600 assault rifle bullets of damage to him

He's not a "boss", just a regular super mutant behemoth

[lilac saffron]

450 damage a nuke, 1800 damage mate

[alpine fern]

Can anybody help me last night game crashed. I gave it 5min then went back on to the main menu crashed and its just doing that now crashing hard im on xbox-x

[lilac saffron]

Swan is easy after a few perk gains and levels. He's more of an early-game miniboss.

[pure sigil]

If it was working fine earlier, before you start looking for game fixes, try the simple step of powering off your xbox, unplug it for a minute or two and allow it to reset.

[slate rock]

reminds me of how i melee battled deathclaws and them fog monster dudes in far harbor whatever they’re called

in fact i just wanna give myself a minute to brag about how i beat the game with melee only

but i won’t

[unreal cloud]

Heya.

[slate rock]

hi

[unreal cloud]

Does anyone know how to fix a bugged main quest?

[slate rock]

which one?

[unreal cloud]

One min

[alpine fern]

@pure sigil ive tried that same thing. Ive just uninstalled it then re download it thx anyway.

[unreal cloud]

Molecular Level. I’ve gotten to the point where your post to speak to either
A) Minutemen
B) BOS
C) Railroad.
I’ve done the Minutemen one but the quest softlocks after I build the first part of the machine

Like. I build it. Then the quest doesn’t update to let me build the 2nd

I’ve tried speaking to the BOS but the person that it points me to just refuses to let me progress.

[slate rock]

i remember i had that

i wish i remembered how to fix it, i’m sorry

[unreal cloud]

It’s alright. I’ll try to reload the quest further back to see if I can fix it.

[unreal cloud]

If not then I guess i’ll be stuck on the quest.

[unreal cloud]

and I pray to god I won’t be forever stuck on the quest

[unreal cloud]

If anyone knows a solution please let me know

if not then i’ll try to deduce it myself

[alpine fern]

Greet uninstalled it then re downloaded it and it still does it what a joke is anyone else's doing this crashing at the menu screen??

Yeah sure whatever

Good luck with that

Heres a shovel

😂

[flint badge]

Hello all.
Sorry if I bother you.
I have just bought game from steam and start a new game, standard, no mods. But my game automatically turn off at certain frames. Have you seen it or known how to fixed it?
Please help me. Many thanks!
--I played on laptop zephyrus G15 2022, win 11.

[jade saddle]

I forget my game is like just stuck on the defending the castle from BOS and I've uninstalled and reinstalled but idk just doesn't send the BOS after me

[graceful patio]

Does anyone have a good Patch mode for fallout 4 ps4 my game can’t go five minutes without crashing

[lilac saffron]

Anyone here done the mrs nanny test in the general atomics factory?

[zinc ridge]

you mean this one ? https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/f7sv3m/please_punish_the_child/

[lilac saffron]

Yeah, wasn't doing it for automatron though

[wanton estuary]

Where is Todd howard

[thick arch]

why was my comment removed

[echo merlin]

If something was removed, it broke the #rules

[thick arch]

My question is does Bethesdas games works when released?

[echo merlin]

Yes. I've played many of them on release with no issue.

[thick arch]

So slews of patches does not count as the games beeing flawed?

[echo merlin]

Nearly all games have patches after release, that doesn't make them flawed.

[thick arch]

If not flawed not one single patch had to be made

[echo merlin]

In that case, nearly all games nowadays are flawed.

[sturdy viper]

Never had an update on a cartridge

[echo merlin]

Hence the "nowadays" 😉

[thick arch]

so you cannot say anything bad about Todd Howard

[echo merlin]

Bashing and abusive language is against the #rules

[thick arch]

Bashing??? It is a critic about his and Bethesdas marketing

[vague basin]

There's a difference between criticism and libel.

[torpid galleon]

Battletoads had a very well known bug with the two player mode. No software is without issues.

[unkempt cliff]

A big difference.

[vague basin]

Ultima 9 shipped with so many grievous bugs in the game that EA was eventually forced to reissue the game disc with corrections for the issues to anyone who bought it. That's an expensive lesson they never really learned.

[thick arch]

I think it is perfectly vaild critic conserning Todd Howards way of promote Bethesdas games.

[unkempt cliff]

Blaming Todd Howard for bugs in your Fallout game is like blaming Ronald McDonald for getting a bad cheeseburger.
Todd didn’t make your burger.

[echo merlin]

And using one quote about a specific thing as a Catch All Be All isn't helpful, either.

[thick arch]

´"It Just works" is not true if filled with bugs

[vague basin]

Fallout 4 actually has far less bugs in it than Skyrim does.

[sturdy viper]

Fallout 4 worked fine for me, till they decided to do the forced CC updates... I always play offline and I could still enable/disable my mods but once Creation Crap came about that all changed along with more random crashes.... I remember the worst thing they could happen to you was the oil slick update or even before mods the 0KB.

[vague basin]

Referring to it as "Creation Crap" weakens your argument.

[echo merlin]

Yeah, let's keep it respectful please.

[wanton estuary]

Why was i pinged, but I see no message ping?

[nimble island]

I wish people who say those three words at least had the courtesy of actually knowing the actual context of when and where they were said, and what they were said in reference to, instead of just perpetuating a meme

[wanton estuary]

Creation club is awesome

[topaz haven]

You do realize updates weren't possible back then?

Why is that? Probably because it cost a lot of money back then

Disc space limitations, hardware limitations

You wonder why oblivion is still a broken mess

limitations

[prime cypress]

Can someone help me fix fallout 4?

it keeps crashing when i press play

[sturdy viper]

It also meant the game was complete and Final,not half ass rushed out and finished later.

[peak shale]

Which platform? Have files been validated? Is it modded? Are you receiving any error messages? A little more info, please. Then someone may be able to help.

[prime cypress]

i validated files and reinstalled, im on a pc

i got right after getting the prydwen in the story

and then i closed my game and then it never worked

[prime cypress]

well not pc laptop but i got a 1660ti and i can run it on ultra so its not a hardware problem

i can dm u a vid of what happens when i press play if u need

[peak shale]

Hmm. The bot apparently thought I was cursing or something. lol Maybe give the mod, Buffout 4, a try.

[prime cypress]

?

[keen verge]

There is probably not a mod that allows me to have mods and still get achievements or is it ?

[peak shale]

Buffout 4 has proven very useful in tracking the more obscure issues people are having on PC. It's crash logs are very thorough.

[peak shale]

[blazing swallow]

I hate how many things are locked behind diamond city and thus the physical embodiment of the fact that the writers only cared about Nate that is Piper, I really wish they had redone the game with a proper rewrite to address all these issues so that we could hope for better things in the future, but 76 by it's nature only made these issues worse and 4 has really begun to show it's age, it's almost unplayable if you don't ignore the main quest and just keep repeating the theory that Nora is a synth,

[blazing swallow]

Also I hope they learned that big guns cannot carry itself and they should have kept new Vegas style weapon split, because even with the heavy incinerator finally making heavy weapons semi viable early and mid game you still are better off just going rifles or pistols for overall better weapons that are more versatile and lighter with reasonable ammo arrangements, also making the game have only one level up resource really makes levels feel empty,

Also the weapon and armor modding system is so trash like why would you ever waste resources on incremental upgrades instead of just soldiering on until you can get the final ones? If they had actually thought to have mods build off each other so resources aren't thrown away on mid level upgrades maybe players would actually care about crafting perks beyond their final level,

And if they had kept some of the perks as skills not only could level ups felt better they could have spared perk space for more niche perks and keeping la cherchez femme and confirmed bachelor,

[pure sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/excuse-huh-gif-18307887

[blazing swallow]

Gif isn't loading for me but I assume based on the link it is confusion, I am hungry and the food situation is not likely to improve and am in the throws of seasonal depression, fo4 has the misfortune of being the game I am playing and because the quest I wanted to do is locked behind the very uncomfortable entry to diamond city I decided to vent about it, and with it being up some of the games other glaring flaws that should never have made it in, this isn't a hind sight is 20/20 thing, it's a legitimate failure in the creative process to correct for creator biases and to design the game for player enjoyment instead of artistic interest,

"Random links"

It's clearly a tenor.com link🤣

Let's bring this back to Fallout 4 please folks

Yes

Poor mans powerarmor

[mild bobcat]

Seems kinda sus ngl

O.o

What did i say? Stupid bot

[empty fox]

do somebody know why bgs haven't update fo4's traditional chinese version till now?

[blazing swallow]

I hope if we get an anniversary edition style update if nothing else they fix the dlc interactions, it's so silly we can't make ammo from the dlcs with the ammo mill for example, I wonder if they worked that out by now, I know it's been a massive plague on the series since 3, but they have stuff like bot parts from Nuka world for automatron but so many other things that feel like missing pieces,

[lilac saffron]

That's why XD

Duly noted about language. Better version: It's balanced because closing that distance is a horrible idea against some enemies, like Deathclaws, Mirelurks, or that one Feral that keeps jumping at you and won't stay on the screen for five se- will you stop tha- hey quit it- okay VATS time jerk

Yes, I hate fighting Ferals.

[lilac saffron]

Yeah, they're weak and fragile. They're just annoying as heck.

Like a radroach

[pure sigil]

Darn ghouls, the way they notice you and start to lumber towards you makes you think that you have time to pick them off..
Then whoosh, at light speed your getting battered.

Bloodbugs, stingers and bloat flies are candidates for vats for sure.

[slate rock]

oh god

don’t remind me

[unreal cloud]

I love when I can’t progress the main story because of a bug that breaks the quest’s story progress

and practically locks me out of having fun and achievements

[slate rock]

try out a new save if you want to

tbh i wish i remembered how to fix it

i’ll try to see if i can find how to fix the bug on youtube or smth

[unreal cloud]

I really don’t want to start all over from the beginning

I feel like the devs put lots of love into fallout 4 but it feels rushed

[slate rock]

have you already done research on how to fix it?

@unreal cloud

[unreal cloud]

There’s nothing I could find

people constantly say get a mod or console commands to fix it

[slate rock]

i mean on youtube or google

[lilac saffron]

Stingwings are the worst

Not only are they just horrible harassment and a half, they also hit too freaking hard... and if you're using a Hazmat Suit to survive in the Glowing Sea, and you stumble across some?

Deathclaws, you can lose. Radscorpions, you can just keep running. Stingwings, you can fold your hands together and pray the reload is quick.

It's pretty easy to go to, but a quick question first. Have you done the quest Diamond City Blues?

Nope. Over by where the lift is to the Mayor's Office in DC

There's a way up into the Upper Stands. Go into the bar.

YEP

The area with the drug makers has three or four employees have Hazmat Suits.

Have one on you at all times, since some places have high enough passive rads to pose a threat.

The Glowing Sea... well. You've actually seen it!

Or at least, how it was made.

27 is plenty... if you run.

[unreal cloud]

I look into it

[lilac saffron]

The Glowing Sea is more a testament to endurance and how well you stockpile than outright stats.

Oh, you can.

The Glowing Sea is open area. It's so large, actually, it has open indicators on your map. You're also required to go there for the main story.

Open your map, and look in the southeast corner. That is the Glowing Sea. Insanely neat place.

Yep. It's... also one of the most dangerous places in the game, due to enemy types and scaling. Imagine that Deathclaw you first saw at the beginning of the game, beef it up, and that's a common enemy.

Stingwings? Those massive mosquito things, crossed with a scorpion and wasp.

Radscorpions are pretty common too.

[unreal cloud]

I hate those things

[lilac saffron]

Yep.

Deathclaws are nasty business. Thankfully, holstering your weapon makes you run a little faster and you can outrun them.

By 27, you should also have the weaponry, if not the armor, to at least try and take them if you can get a decent start distance.

Around 510, for normal Deathclaws. If your level gets high enough, you'll start seeing Alphas and the like.

Normals are scaled for Level 22

A good way to test if you have the firepower, work on the main story. If you saved Nick, you're not very far.

Note, it's back and limbs have reduced damage. Only it's belly, partially covered by it's hunch, takes bonus damage there. And you have to get close if you wanna do that.

Oh. Yeah, that's a good thing to do XD

You can take one.

Question. Even with a Hazmat Suit, how many Stimpacks and RadAway do you have?

That's a lot. What difficulty are you playing at?

Check your Settings -> Gameplay

You can change it anytime. If the game feels overly easy, you can crank it up a bit.

Tbh, only Survival can be masochist level. Very Hard isn't bad if you know what you're doing, and seeing as you have 100 Stimpacks it could be worth giving a shot. If not Hard. Legendary enemies, and thus legendary gear, can drop more often at higher difficulties too.

But points aside, yeah if you have that much in both you can definitely take anywhere on the overworld.

[unreal cloud]

Just realized the vault tec dude is somehow alive

200 years later… jesus christ

He was cryogenically frozen

the body won’t age because its frozen but still alive

[lilac saffron]

So, this is a fun question.

There's a lot of free Power Armor sources in the game.

However, there are two major merchant sources for them. One is a group called the Atom Cats, still looking for them personally. They're off the beaten path, and it's RNG if you even find one collecting scrap who gives you a map highlight on where to go.

The second one sells nice power armor, and is unlocked after doing two quests.

Although, the same two quests unlocks a group that will just outright give you free, leveled, and full sets of Power Armor.

All three at once, each time.

[lilac saffron]

Most of the ghouls are like that.

They're basically humans who have been subject to so much radiation, their bodies are in a state of perpetual decay... with a side benefit of greatly extended lifespans. There's even some dialogue about the player, from who I can't remember, "Wait, before the bombs? Like one of those Pre-War Ghouls?"

Also, radiation not causing enough brain damage. When we say some ghouls are braindead, they really have had enough radiation exposure to have had large pieces of their minds rotted or decayed.

That could affect some. It's a lot of causes for ghouls, unlike Super Mutants.

Fun fact, FO4 has two friendly Super Mutants. Just two.

I mean... there's a few times it went pretty well. You've met one of them.

Well. Meet is... a stretch.

Granted. Thing is, it's a failed prototype. There is someone who developed a version that actually worked, specifically for FEV (Super Mutants).

One storyline character you met, it's reasonable to assume had genetic altercations alongside their more cybernetic.

But before we go onto them... Go save Nicky.

[lilac saffron]

Wow. I know that sometimes a companion can be cold, but X6 (when Dogmeat is hurt) literally says "Your pet's bleeding out here. Maybe I should just finish him off."

[lapis fulcrum]

Any recommendations on a build to get me all of the way through the game without rerolling once I hit level 30?

[severe berry]

You can find lots of power armor for free out in the open. I've attached a link to a map as a spoiler in case you wanted to find it on your own.

And, make sure you don't leave any cores in them. NPCs can't steal your power armor if it doesn't have power.

[unreal cloud]

Im going to bash some npcs skulls in. This quest refuses to continue

Minutemen is bugged, BOS is Bugged.

sighs Gonna have to risk losing my good run to do this main quest

[pulsar pulsar]

I need help, I bought the Skyrim kit in the creation club and the quest for it is not activating, I’m on Xbox one

[severe berry]

It works differently based on whether you are in a vault or outside at a settlement. Vaults have a reactor and I think you have to hook things up to it instead. I'll link what I used in Vault 88...

||https://gameranx.com/features/id/67008/article/fallout-4-vault-tec-how-to-power-your-new-vault/||

[pulsar pulsar]

Someone please help

[echo merlin]

This is the Fallout 4 chat, you'll want to move this to #elder-scrolls-support

I can help you there!

[pulsar pulsar]

But I bought it in fallout four

The sword and the helmet

[echo merlin]

My bad, read that wrong

[unreal cloud]

I swear. I just want to 100% the game unmodded

but can’t do that because of a bug.

[echo merlin]

Do a restart of the game and your console, see if the quest appears after that.

[pulsar pulsar]

Ok I will try

[twin geyser]

I found a bug in fallout 4
not surprising but it is reproducable easily

[pulsar pulsar]

It didn’t work, but thanks for trying to help anyways

[twin geyser]

and rather annoying

[severe berry]

Make sure you have enough materials (copper) available to craft the wire. Also, you can try picking up the generator and moving it around a bit if it is being stubborn. Check this link for more details and if that doesn't help you might have a bug... https://attackofthefanboy.com/guides/fallout-4-workshop-guide-how-to-connect-power-using-wires/

[pure sigil]

@odd otter Your generator needs to be connected to a power conduit by a wire.
This vid should explain all the basics of Power and connecting for beginners.

[unreal cloud]

So uh

I found a wall that has no collision

[torpid galleon]

Where at? I'm aware of one in the Commonwealth

[prime cypress]

how do i use buffout4?

im tryna find out why my fallout 4 doesnt work

[lilac saffron]

For the first time in years, I am back in the institute

[lilac saffron]

Oh man, I'm level 106 on this playthrough and I only had 1 Two-Shot weapon drop which just had to be Combat Rifle (like the Overseer's Guardian), until I finally got my second Two-Shot today which was a Radium Rifle. Don't mind if I effing do.

Only got 1 Instigating weapon too, a Laser Rifle...

Hopefully these effects will drop more frequently in the south and in Nuka-World / Far Harbor which I've yet to do.

Did get 2 explosive weapons though, which is nice (combat shotgun and assault rifle).

[unreal cloud]

Dms rq

[mild bobcat]

https://youtu.be/QhfBgNwX1g4

[atomic lark]

I’ve completed the game and I’m on the DLCs. I’ve completed Far Harbor and Nuka World (along with Vault 88).

I’m on quests that deal with Desdemona hunting Raider leaders. I returned to the Railroad HQ and Drummer Boy told me to speak with Desdemona but every time I try to speak with her, she doesn’t respond.

Is there a fix?

[keen verge]

Hmm i seem to have a problem I found the cave where the alien with the alien blaster should appear but it didn’t I have not found the crashed ship as I was not able to find it is this something of newer patches ?

I have all dlcs and to get achievements no mods

[sturdy viper]

You need to be level 20 for ship to crash.

[keen verge]

Ah ok if I enter the cave for the second time than will the alien be there ?

If not I’ll load an older safe I have one bevor I enter said cave for the first time

[mild bobcat]

Just go to nukaworld and do the hubologist quest
Same alien pistol but with the lucky leg. Effect.

[blazing swallow]

In retrospect they could have had down town permanently shrouded in smaug tainted with the chemicals from halucigen given it a unique mechanic and then used that to build up the fog from far harbor,

[misty grotto]

Neverending (that one minute man laser rifle I can't remember it's name) is better tbh

[lilac saffron]

Only problem is the ammo, especially on Survival Mode where it has weight. But Never-Ending Double Barrel is absurdly good, though. (Or can be, especially early on).

[misty grotto]

Oh yeah then it's not that good but

I have another thing but can't remember what it is

The neverending double barrel is awesome

[lilac saffron]

As you level up, you will hear the spaceship above you crashing through the atmosphere, it's like a sharp whooshing sound and hard to miss. After that, just return to the cave and it should all be there, including the ship outside.

[misty grotto]

I'm pretty sure I've have it active at level 15 so idk about that 20 minimum requirement thing

[lilac saffron]

20 according to this link, but I've never paid attention, plus they may have changed it post-launch:
https://www.thegamer.com/fallout-4-alien-blaster-hub-guide/#:~:text=After you reach level 20,but it's easy to miss.

[misty grotto]

Idk it words it like it crashes when you hit 20 which isn't true it's random

[lilac saffron]

Maybe 20 is the last level and thus guaranteed to happen if it hasn't happened yet.

[misty grotto]

I've been 30+ and still did get it

[lilac saffron]

That's weird. (I assume you meant "didn't".)

[misty grotto]

Yes didn't

It's a shame PlayStation dosent have nexus mods like Xbox cause there are some great mods that are only on nexus

[hallow jacinth]

Hi! I have a fallout 4 pip boy, not the one that you put your phone in, the "real" one that they apparently only made 5000 of. I was wondering if anyone here knows what they sell for? Thanks

[misty grotto]

Look on ebay

[misty grotto]

In survival they have weight

Not a lot but it adds up

Vats or explosive or meele

Stealth build is always op

[lilac saffron]

Got back into FO4 recently. I was wondering what level people were at when they got to the end of main story? I'm only on level 68 (I think). Seems low? I played it fairly regularly for first 18 months after release but never really went back to it until a year ago. Played it in short bursts since then.

[proven bluff]

Depends on how the game goes

I usually end the game at lv80 if i am going the MM route, since i love working on my Settlements

However, sometimes if i have a weird build , or i am going on another route, i could get like Lv40 at the ending

[slate rock]

depends on the save

in the ones that i want to complete(which is the the case for my melee only save), around 20-30. in the ones i put time into then around 40-50+ because i put more love into those saves

[lilac saffron]

Yeah, but later on you'll be able to craft some of that ammo yourself. Not all types but several. So you can spray more, not to mention finding more ammo with the Scrounger Perk.

[lilac saffron]

^ This. I'm level 110 right now and I've done neither Nuka-World nor Far Harbor, and I'm half-way through Automatron and ready to do ||Mass Fusion|| for the main story.

I've just grinded a ton of random encounters and gotten Idiot Savant and 11 Luck / 11 Intelligence really early.

(For anyone wondering, you can get 11 base on your SPECIALs if you raise them to 10 before you pick up the bobblehead. Perception can get to 13 by the same method plus getting V.A.N.S. Perk (Rank 2) afterwards).

The great thing about getting Idiot Savant early is that you have more missions left to do. It's extremely rare to proc Idiot on a mission (although you can save scum some of them if you got the patience), but if you do you'll get bonkers XP. Although what you really want is to proc it on high-level enemies (which are obviously far more numerous than quests).

[unreal cloud]

Pray to god

That you don’t get softlocked in the quest

[lilac saffron]

Yeah, I know how to avoid that, if you're referring to Proctor Ingram.

[unreal cloud]

Ehh….

Im referring to ||Molecular Level||

Where ||If you try to build the platform for the first part of the machine|| the game won’t register it

[lilac saffron]

Oh, I haven't had that happen to me yet. But I've already way beyond that part so I'm good.

[unreal cloud]

Oh good.

I gotten it recently and it sucks.

[lilac saffron]

I always do the missions in a highly specific order so that I get to beat the game with RR, MM and BoS all still intact.

One annoying thing is if you do BoS missions too quickly cause Lancer Captain Kells will automatically turn you hostile to Railroad at some point, simply by talking to you, even if you don't accept anything (whereas the Institute quest only turns you hostile to Railroad if you literally attack them).

[misty grotto]

All I'm saying is if you max out all your specials before picking up the bobblehead you can have permanent 11s then boost them more with clothes and chems like literally you can get 27 charisma

[unreal cloud]

Haven’t gotten that bug. I’m not allied with RR

[misty grotto]

I can't remember how but I'm pretty sure you get permanent 12

[unreal cloud]

Im currently just messing around in nuka world.

[misty grotto]

I can't quite remember though

Raiders>

[unreal cloud]

I freaking hate the crabs there.

[misty grotto]

Oh the Nuka crabs

[unreal cloud]

They are so annoying to kill. ESPECIALLY WHEN I BARELY HAVE ANY BULLETS

[misty grotto]

Meele Superior ?

[unreal cloud]

I had to fight like 5 of them with a melee weapon because I ran out of bullets

[misty grotto]

Citos bat better

[lilac saffron]

I usually stop wearing stat-boosting clothing (except maybe Int) after I got 11, cause you don't really need much higher for most things.

[misty grotto]

Not literally citos bat is one of my main weapons and I don't even expect into melee and it's still one of the most OP weapons I have

[misty grotto]

27 charisma trading is funny though

[lilac saffron]

Yeah lol

[misty grotto]

Hey you want something that usually cost 3000 caps nope it's like 200

[unreal cloud]

and almost died because I barely had any stimpaks or healing items. My robot was down trying to protect me. Couldn’t repair her. Got lucky with mysterious man and killed a nuka crab.

[misty grotto]

One of the things I usually do for the Nuka Queen is use a two shot fat man Nuka

Plus a vats critical

[lilac saffron]

Just got reminded today on how annoying Ada can be, since she always runs in front of my gun...

[misty grotto]

Dog door better

[unreal cloud]

By the time she spawned I was almost dead.

[lilac saffron]

Always fun to one-shot your companion, wasting stimpaks/repairs on Survival Mode.

[unreal cloud]

I was running ontop of the building from the crabs.

[misty grotto]

No companion>

[lilac saffron]

I usually go solo once I got all companion perks. Lone Wanderer is pretty dope.

[misty grotto]

I mean loan wander is still perks with dog meat

[unreal cloud]

I just gotta love when my robot blocks me from getting through A DOORWAY

[lilac saffron]

Yeah, combine it with Attack Dog and you're fine. But still, I just don't like how the companions move around.

[unreal cloud]

I just yell at her to MOVE

[misty grotto]

I rarely use companions

Power armor>

[unreal cloud]

Ive used dog meat for most of the game. I used ADA for the quest to build my own robot and thats it.

[lilac saffron]

Iirc, I think there was a mod that lets you shove your companions, or other NPCs for that matter.

[unreal cloud]

They shouldn’t have collision for christ sakes

[misty grotto]

Imagine ever using companions

[unreal cloud]

I use them because im usually getting my rear end beaten

By like crabs

and sometimes ghouls.

[misty grotto]

You can't be getting beat up if you blow them up first

Insert nuke a nuke dualshot fat man

[lilac saffron]

Even with collision, there's ways to make the AI behave better but I think Bethesda just didn't invest in that because so much is happening in the game in terms of CPU. So smart companions are hard to do. Hopefully they'll address that for Starfield.

[unreal cloud]

Yea. It’s really buggy so it seems like a lot of the game wasn’t fully ironed out.

Though the funny bugs like npc’s doing the A-Pose

[misty grotto]

Like literally I can do almost 2,000 damage a shot without critical but if you do like a stealth attack and get like that 7x crit that's what 14,000 damage

[unreal cloud]

Can stay.

[misty grotto]

I think the highest health enemy is only like 12 or 25k

[unreal cloud]

Ohhh and npcs sitting on the air

[lilac saffron]

Headshots (i.e. weakpoints) also count as their own type of "critical", doing +50% damage.

[unreal cloud]

Is also funny.

[misty grotto]

I was talking about the vat critical

[lilac saffron]

I know, just saying.

[misty grotto]

Pretty much😂

[unreal cloud]

I haven’t checked out Fallout 75 and it looks…ehh…

[misty grotto]

I got the big boy from Arturo and I was like oh I wonder if I can put Nuka nukes on it and at first I couldn't figure out how but then I eventually figured out how so now I have a dual shot in Nuke a nuke

[lilac saffron]

Instigating Gauss Rifle deals absolutely bonkers damage per hit.
Not to mention the DPS on fully perked and modded up Explosive Minigun.

[misty grotto]

And then combine that with my absolute insane amount of AP and AP regeneration plus a jetpack I can basically become an orbital can and I just fly above everything just fire downward basically a GTA orbital Cannon

[misty grotto]

What does instigating do?

[unreal cloud]

Behold nuka cola sponsored tm nuka nuke

[lilac saffron]

2x damage to enemies at full health, so it's an OP effect when on sniper weapons, especially the Gauss Rifle.

[misty grotto]

Can't even remember that's what they're actually called like the nuka variant of a mini nuke

[misty grotto]

Oh that one

Well 7x sneak + 2x

[lilac saffron]

Not just sneak attacks, but yeah you get the first shot with bonuses and you'll basically one-shot most enemies in the game.

[unreal cloud]

deathclaws are surprisingly not as scary as they are in fallout 3.

[misty grotto]

Wait dose that do 14x or just 9x

[misty grotto]

Well yeah in the words of jabo "freedom calls" the worst quest in the game

[unreal cloud]

Which is?

Oh.

[misty grotto]

It's the one we have to rescue the minutemen and then fight the deathclaw at the end

The deathclaw fight kind of ruins deathclaws in fallout 4

[unreal cloud]

Fight the deathclaw with a deathclaw melee weapon

[lilac saffron]

Well it's a low level deathclaw. Try fighting a Mythical Deathclaw at level 3 lol

I mean, "there's ways" but still. xD

[misty grotto]

Still kind of ruins them it make them look like not a threat

[unreal cloud]

Its really good especially when u get its upgrade which will make people with guns lose them

[slate rock]

ez

[misty grotto]

One of my favorite weapons from far harbor is a ripper that has a stagger effect

[slate rock]

block punch run punch block

try not to get eaten punch run

[unreal cloud]

try not to get grabbed

[slate rock]

yeah

that’s the worst part but as long as the killing animation isn’t there i’ll be fine until it does happen

[unreal cloud]

I had to fight a deathclaw with a sniper rifle

was running around in circles like a little girl

[lilac saffron]

Once, I killed 50 Deathclaws with my Switchblade. Just ask Deacon.

[unreal cloud]

[misty grotto]

Everything he says can be trusted

Oh my he just told me you need to give me your credit card information

[unreal cloud]

I don’t have one

Best I can offer is a potato

[lilac saffron]

What's funny is that Deacon is ironically one of the most honest guys in the Commonwealth, cause he literally advices you to ignore the BS and look at reality. "What they're doing and what they're asking you to do."

[slate rock]

1234 5678 9101 1213

[misty grotto]

Honest my butt

[unreal cloud]

The sarcasm our character makes is hilarious.

[lilac saffron]

He's just pulling your chain, but he's not actually trying to deceive you.

[misty grotto]

McCready better

Mccready best (gage is second)

[lilac saffron]

Gage was pretty dope. I kinda like his eyepatch armor thing.

[misty grotto]

Also his perk is amazing

[lilac saffron]

And Longfellows constant singing is kinda luls, I feel like I'm with my uncle out in the woods xD

[misty grotto]

I completely screwed up my far harbor like I can't even buy ammo from anyone cuz there's no vendors left

[unreal cloud]

The hell did u do?

[lilac saffron]

Far Harbor best ending: "Wipe them out... all of them!"

[slate rock]

TBH

[unreal cloud]

kill then all by mistake?

[misty grotto]

So basically you know how Avery is like a synth and I confronted her and I think I attacked her too soon cuz then the entire village turned against me or I did the wrong speech check or something like that

And I previously killed all the robots because you know brotherhood of steel for life

[unreal cloud]

Synths for some reason just really more of an annoyance then a threat

[lilac saffron]

Would've been amazing if there was a mission to discover that Maxson is a synth, just to see the look in his face.

[misty grotto]

I hate that you can't get his coat without killing him

Also the whole scrapped you become elder thing

[lilac saffron]

Speaking of coats, I read somewhere that you can get infinite dresses from Irma by pickpocketing her, cause her dress respawns on her.

[unreal cloud]

I really wish they added the ability to be friends with a deathclaw

[misty grotto]

There is?

[unreal cloud]

Besides mods

[misty grotto]

No

In contraptions DLC you can tame a deathclaw

[unreal cloud]

i mean like

As a permanent companion like dogmeat

[misty grotto]

A companion

Harambee replace dogmeat best mod

[lilac saffron]

Wouldn't be the first time. Iirc in Fallout 2 you get a robed sentient Deathclaw as a companion.

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Goris

[misty grotto]

Nothing could stop be from getting that sentient deathclawussy

[unreal cloud]

I like how lancer asks us a question about coughs something I can’t say here and when we reply no we blurted it out like a lie

was it lancer? I can’t remember

[misty grotto]

I don't remember

[unreal cloud]

guy that’s a captain or something on the big ship

[misty grotto]

Yes

That's him

[lilac saffron]

Just 5 more levels and I can start using my Atom Bomb Baby (Explosive C. Shotgun) like a megalomaniac.

[misty grotto]

Why 5 more levels?

[lilac saffron]

For Demolition Expert, as I've been prioritizing other perks thus far. Already got the Explosives Bobblehead though.

[misty grotto]

Oh

I literally don't remember which one that os

I know what it does but I don't remember it

[lilac saffron]

Oh my bad, it's actually 4 Ranks not 5.

Explosive weapons (especially maxed out) get extremely dangerous though, on Survival Mode, you often cripple yourself if you're not careful.

A long time ago, I got it early and I actually one-shot killed myself when I got too close to my target. xD

[misty grotto]

Lmao

[unreal cloud]

Diamond City music is really good ngl

There’s always this one sad track that hits me in the feels

[misty grotto]

I usually Rush the Travis side quest because confident Travis is so much cooler than not confident Travis still like him either way

But one thing I never knew is you can have the guys in the bar you fight live like if you just don't use a weapon you use your fist and make sure you don't punch them one extra time they totally live and you fight them later I've never had that happen since the last time I did it

[unreal cloud]

lol

[misty grotto]

nuke Minigun ❤️❤️

[unreal cloud]

So uh. What do I do when I do the home sweet home thing?

because its uh

not saying I claimed it even though I did

[misty grotto]

?

[unreal cloud]

Great quests bugged…

[reef ginkgo]

does dlc armor and weapons eventually get sold outside of the DLC zone

like in Far Harbor, I bought the legendary harpoon gun and i want to know if i need to be stingy with the harpoons

[misty grotto]

You can buy ammo in far harbor (maybe make it to)

That's it though

[reef ginkgo]

oh okay, i bought up the whole store's supply of harpoons, just wanted to know if i needed to conserve them or if i could buy them when i return to the commonwealth 😦

[unreal cloud]

they restock after a day

[misty grotto]

Only in far harbor but they vendors restock every 3 days

[unreal cloud]

Well 3 days

[misty grotto]

Oh right it's 1 day not 3

Is it?

Yes

[reef ginkgo]

i guess i should also buy the other unique weapons there too huh, like the light machine gun and lever action rifles?

they take 40-70 ammo in the game i think

[misty grotto]

I was wrong it starts with a 4 though all I remember

[reef ginkgo]

okay

yeah i was just going off the top of my head

i remember a 4 and a 7 lol

[misty grotto]

Yeah it's the ammo that far harbor added

[reef ginkgo]

and no i dont believe they're shotguns or they'd be designated as such?

[maiden pine]

hey yall, tried getting help on a issue with the game being sped up way too fast and the website suggested i come ask here

i've done the basic google search answers and i cant get the game resolution to fill my screen in windowed borderless mode to keep the game at 60fps

any help would be greatly appreciated.

[misty grotto]

Wdym

Speed up way to fast?

[maiden pine]

the game will be going multiple times faster than normal

npc's will run by me at light speed

the roaches in the first vault fly around me too fast to hit outside of vats

my character will move way faster than its supposed to, and dialog is all out of sync

what i've found on google is that the game will do this if my screen is set for over 60hz. so i set it to 60 and it didnt work. then i saw that the game will run in 60fps if its playin in window borderless mode. but i cant get it to fill up more than half of my screen

[keen verge]

Thank you also I have 2 questions 1 why is a power armor rendert useless if I kill the wearer and sencondly for said reasons why is the stealth boy compared to older titles for us almost useles as so many enteties could still see my while trying to sneak on them compared to nv in wich I emptied ceasars camp with 2 stealth boys and the heated Saturnium fist I smuggled in

[keen verge]

Is there like a stealth boy fix or anything as it feels really broken to use while coursers and such are pretty op with it

[misty grotto]

It's a command I don't know it exactly but you can just look it up it's like game speed something something and you either set it or someone else set it high

[misty grotto]

You have to actually spec into stealth and also your agility has to be not really low

Cuz if you're in the light and use a stealth boy they're still going to be able to see you

[keen verge]

Well it was night

[misty grotto]

You still have to like have decent agility and spec into stealth perks

[keen verge]

Also I first encounterd a guy in a power armor killed him loaded a safe prior cause I wanted dat suit and he was gone before the fight started

A raider

[maiden pine]

Thx, I'll try to find it

[misty grotto]

Some enemies will always have power armor but some can be randomized with it

[fierce frost]

Are we going to get a XBOX Series X update for Fallout 4

Like they did for Skyrim

[misty grotto]

Yes and ps

Unless it's already out I don't remember

[severe berry]

Yes, check out 'FALLOUT 4 IS GOING NEXT-GEN' at the following Link: https://fallout.bethesda.net/en/article/jfwd8PsUw8r3pKrO1wOc5/fallout25-conclusion-interviews-events-perks

We have to wait until sometime next year.

[fierce frost]

Thank God. Hopefully that update will fix the glitch and I'll finally be able to get past the beginning

No matter what I try it doesn't let past talking to caldsworth

[severe berry]

Fingers crossed, I hope they fix it for you!

In the mean time, you could contact support and see if they can help.

[lilac saffron]

Because reasons.

[unreal cloud]

I just wish they’d update the previous consoles. They play fine it’s just got some annoying game breaking bugs

It has the rare crashes but then again the games usually loading in a lot of stuff

which can u blame it?

It’s a big open world.

[keen verge]

Kinda sad

[inner trellis]

does fallout 4 has online mode?

[deft quarry]

No

That’s 76

[severe berry]

When they do the update I'm sure they will be working on fixing bugs for all platforms in addition to adding the updated graphics for the systems that can take advantage of them. I can't hardly imagine they would only fix bugs for newer platforms since the underlying code per platform is basically the same.

[unreal cloud]

I highly doubt they’ll go back and fix it

they care about 75

not 4.

[severe berry]

Ummm... Creation Club is still making money, so why wouldn't they fix bugs for older consoles so they can have more exposure? I guess we'll wait and see, but I'm hoping they fix bugs for everything even though I don't play it on console.

[unreal cloud]

I don’t have access to that for some reason

[unreal cloud]

because if they are older then probably nobody will play them. These bugs may never be patched because of

A) Being impossible to fix

B) Not replicateable

[keen verge]

Rip

[real pendant]

With mods yes

[real pendant]

Install mods that fix bugs

[lilac saffron]

hi, i have questions
For the supply line. Does it supplies from A to B only or A to B and vice versa?

[severe berry]

Looks like it is bidirectional, so just assigning 1 person to the supply route between settlement 1 and settlement 2 will make all resources available in both places. Then you can further establish a supply line between settlement 2 and settlement 3, which will share resources between all three.

You can read more here: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Supply_line

[lilac saffron]

Thank you. im just confused on how it works. also it needs to be a free settler right?

nvm, ive read it in the wiki

[wooden cave]

Has anyone ever tried following the sentry bot from the robot scrapyard all the way to the South Boston checkpoint? I was trying to see if I could score the stealth armor early, but it kept getting stuck in dead-end alleys before just straight-up disappearing into thin air while going down the road by the BOS police station.

[proven bluff]

Afaik the problem with Fo4 in PS4 and Xbox one is that the consoles themselves have a hard time running them

[lilac saffron]

I played thru vanilla before mods released on PS4 for multiple playthroughs with absolutely no issues. I dunno if updates that brought mods borked something. But I still hear around places that's it's far more stable on playstation than Xbox.

I haven't played Xbox vanilla to compare, only with mods.

[unreal cloud]

Whats worse then 2 supermutants with mini nukes on them? 3 of them together.

[unreal cloud]

Xbox has the occasional hiccups with lag and crashes.

Bug wise it’s got some gamebreaking ones

[lilac saffron]

Yeah I was speaking stability wise. No doubt all have bugs lol

[unreal cloud]

It runs smooth when it’s not loading in big areas like a city

I usually quicksave a lot just incase

[lilac saffron]

Yeah modded I've gotten mine stable enough to run thru Boston no problem. But lemme make tons of explosions and no problem becomes lag af lol

PlayStation though at least vanilla I can blast mini nukes in Boston. But as said haven't tried vanilla Xbox. And probably won't just cuz mods lol. Beat it to death vanilla on playstation. It's mod time.

[severe berry]

Lol! I love sniping one of the mini nukes they are carrying... Feels good man! 😂

[lilac saffron]

Yeah I hope there's some "critical mass" enemies in Starfield too.

[unreal cloud]

Im doing it in vanilla currently

and i’m currently softlocked from nuka worlds main quest, and commonwelths main quest.

[lilac saffron]

Rip. I never made it to Nuka world. But I personally encountered no bugs I couldn't easily get around. But I tend to be lucky in that regard for most games.

99 percent of the time a game comes out and I see reviews with video proof that it's a buggy/glitchy mess I dont have issue myself. I'ma just cross my fingers that luck holds. Haven't jinxed myself yet

[unreal cloud]

Nuka World is really cool its just really tough for 2 areas

well 3.

Because ones got ||A crapload of robots||

Anothers got ||Nuka Crabs which hit like a truck||

And finally ones got ||Rad sprayers and ghouls everywhere||

[lilac saffron]

ill make it there eventually when i replay thru with update

[unreal cloud]

when is that update post to release anyways?

[lilac saffron]

🤷 sometime in 2023

[unreal cloud]

im praying it comes to xbox 1 so it fixes bugs

[lilac saffron]

i have a series x

[unreal cloud]

I’d likely be out of highschool by then lol

[lilac saffron]

i have all the pretty toys

series x, ps5, pc, switch

[unreal cloud]

But yea when you get to nuka world try and do the ||nuka crab stuff|| when you got a good weapon because they will swarm you.

and they are hard to kill

[lilac saffron]

Yay me, got my first decent Gauss Rifle at lv. 116 (...). Only a freezing one though, which kind of makes me wish I found a Freezing Minigun to see how that performs.

Just out of curiosity, really, as the only minigun I really want is the Explosive one.

[dense wing]

Hey friends I’m sure this has been asked but I was curious if there was ever a reported rough timeline of when the next gen update would come

[lilac saffron]

Only thing we know is it's sometime in 2023.

[marsh veldt]

Just a question, but when Bethesda or Bethesda-related team said about Skyrim AE update at the first time?
I don't think it's a good idea to announce something you can release only in the end of the next year.

[lilac saffron]

Who said they can only release the update at the end of next year

[marsh veldt]

No one, but "somewhere in the next year" is a too floating date to not to do that.

[lilac saffron]

No, it's actually smart that gives you leeway in case of unforeseen complications to work things out.

Setting a time frame is never a good idea unless things are going smoothly.

a settler wore my power armor while i was away. x.x goodness

[lilac saffron]

Was the settlement under attack?

[lilac saffron]

yeah. do they equip your armor when under attack?

[lilac saffron]

They can yes but it only happens once the player makes it to the settlement. Chances are they jumped into it seconds before you saw them.

[lilac saffron]

ooooh okay. goodness, i was panicking cause I thought I lost it. I swore i left my power armor at the sanctuary. then I saw a settler wearing it. HAHAHHA I thought it was stolen from the raiders

[lilac saffron]

I always put my PA where they can't get to it and remove the fusion core cause if a settler can get to it so can the attackers

[lilac saffron]

oh? thats a thing? do you make your own house and maybe barricade it? or what? ;-; i just started fo4 3 days ago ;-;

[lilac saffron]

Sometimes I do but I usually make a high platform only accessible by a staircase or ladder and store the ladder/staircase in the workshop.

[lilac saffron]

ooooh thats smart! thank you!

[unreal cloud]

I got a flame one

[lilac saffron]

do fo4 has wide gate? or are they mods? im looking for a very wide gate for sanctuary

[severe berry]

Just remember to ALWAYS remove your Power Cores. They can't steal it unless it has power...

[lilac saffron]

thank youuu. will remember it nooow

omw to diamond city now ;-; wish me luck huhu

[urban rapids]

@lilac saffron I believe the junk gate, garage door or the barn door are the biggest. Just a heads up some of the spawn locations for attacks are in the settlements.
If you are arm you settlers they will use what you give them. They only need one bullet unlike your companions. If guns and ammo are are in a container and it is better then what they have they may grab it just like the power armor.
I had Trash Can Carla take mine. If that happens your can't tell them to get out. You have to pickpocket the core then they will get out.
Sorry for the long response I have played this game since it's 1st release. Lol

[lilac saffron]

its fine. i loved it! im totally hooked in this game especially the building part. though its kinda really annoying and tedious. but thanks! I already found the junk gate but not the garage and the barn door. ill look to it next time.

[urban rapids]

@lilac saffron the building is what made 4 my favorite one. Lol

[lilac saffron]

If you use mods Combat Settlers by SKK 50 has a function to make them exit the PA.

It can even make it so they don't try to use PA.

[urban rapids]

@lilac saffron oh nice I did not know that. Lol

[lilac saffron]

Also remember, if you aren't hard for caps you can leave cores with like 5 charge left in Power Armor or just a stripped frame. NPCs don't suffer from losing charge in PA, probably because Brotherhood of Steel would be wayyyyyyyy too worth stealing from or killing lone Knights/Paladins in PA.

Cause either they'd have to abandon the suit frequently, or stockpile several cores at a time per character.

Unless using someone like Deacon or MacCready for stealth, if they can use Power Armor it's often worth it even if it's just a frame for the extra Strength and carry weight.

[severe berry]

Wow, that's a good idea! I never thought of letting my NPCs use the old Power Armor I'm never planning to use anyway. I just been collecting it and lining it up down main street for show... 🤣

[lilac saffron]

Haha! Yeah, I use this for anyone whose perks I want but don't really care about, or if they're melee-centric.

Like, Cait iirc is phenomenal with a PA frame with high Strength as is and you can slap her with something like Grognak's Axe.

Speaking of, does anyone know how much Ballistic resistance or health I need to survive a Molotov Cocktail in Survival?

Shotguns are unlivable to fight as is, which pains me as this is my first melee-centric playthrough of any difficulty (first and last was handgun, using Deliverer and a Kellogg's [renamed Family Matters])

But molotovs feel cheap as hell, and I have zero idea how to combat them. Ranking Toughness to 1 helped with everything except those and Shotguns.

[lilac saffron]

Is there a vanilla way to turn off the dang kill-cams in VATS?

[exotic nacelle]

@lilac saffron The cinematic camera no just the dialog one

youd have to find a mod for it

[pure sigil]

Not really. You can try tabbing out of it or bringing up the Pipboy, sometimes works, sometimes glitches.
Or if you're ok with mods there is this one
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/53349
Disclaimer: never used it myself so cannot endorse it.

[dark shuttle]

Whats uppp peeps

Can mods run on the ps5 ?

[lilac saffron]

you can join minute men and brotherhood together right?

[unreal cloud]

I usually just spam the abort button.

[unreal cloud]

Yes

[lilac saffron]

Yeah like the Ashmaker from the heist quest. It's pretty good too, at least early on if you got the ammo.

[unreal cloud]

I have so much ammo for other guns that I barely have any for the main guns I use

[lilac saffron]

Just 2 things - Don't build artillery once you've completed Old Guns (mission given by ||Ronnie Shaw at The Castle||). Building 6 artillery (iirc) causes the BoS to turn hostile (I believe it's only after the main mission is over, though, but forgot).
Secondly, completing Old Guns will cause the institute to attack you and force the Minuteman final mission (which I believe may not happen until after you're banned from the Institute).
Just a heads up, as the final couple of missions in the game have a few bugs and conflicts with each other.

[lilac saffron]

Yeah until you can craft your own ammo it's helpful to rotate between weapons of different ammo types. Plus not all ammo calibers can be crafted either.

[solar kettle]

are there german ones here?
Can Bethesda restore a deleted Fallout 4 save to the cloud so I can retrieve and sync it?
Microsoft can't help

[lilac saffron]

IMO 5mm rounds are so high count and sell for 1 a round so I just use them as trading caps. It's super effective earlygame.

[zinc ridge]

and railroad and institute too

[lilac saffron]

Yeah, .38 and 5mm are good money early on, especially if you're trying to get the Overseer's Guardian early.

[unreal cloud]

I have to many freaking keys in my misc. I CANT STORE THEM

[lilac saffron]

Hah, imagine Bethesda actually adding a "Keys" tab. Game would instantly be 25% better...

[unreal cloud]

especially when I want to listen to holotapes

Because

Funny story’s are nice to listen to

[lilac saffron]

oh no... ive already finished the artilleries way before and i just accepted brotherhood invitation rn. ;-;

[sturdy viper]

He said don't build any more artillery after that

[lilac saffron]

Kinda.

The two work together, with Underground Undercover literally being to work with the Institute while helping Z1 and Liam prep for a rebellion to escape the Institute. However...

After completing Powering Up, your next quest is End of the Line which requires you to kill Desdemona and all other named Railroad (Including Deacon, so if going this route get his perk first).

If you hadn't completed Tradecraft prior to getting End of the Line, the Railroad will be hostile to you on sight. If far enough in Underground Undercover, ||Z1 will instead ask to meet you in your quarters to tell you to warn the Railroad about an impending BoS attack.||

You can then begin the Railroad vs Brotherhood of Steel mission, ending in Rocket's Red Glare if so. After RRG though, Desdemona will say that it's now the Institute or the Railroad. Either complete End of the Line, or The Nuclear Option. If the Railroad was killed before Rocket's Red Glare, either by the Brotherhood soldiers killing them through their removed essential status or by your (potentially willing) hand, then the next mission is a Institute vs Brotherhood of Steel instead.

[lilac saffron]

Oh for the love of- got two whole levels from Corvega Assembly Plant.

Try to leave, I'm at full health, and someone suicide bombs with a molotov. Instant death.

I just want some resources and a Weapon bench...

[lilac saffron]

oh got it. sorry hahaha

[lilac saffron]

To clarify and correct my original comment:
"With Our Powers Combined" (mission to destroy Prydwen) will only happen after you've (1) completed The Nuclear Option (final mission) with BoS or Minutemen and (2) you've become hostile with BoS. I believe this may have been changed since last I did it, since I distinctly recall BoS attacking even when friendly (but then again, maybe I remember wrong. As they say - if in doubt trust the wiki):
https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/With_Our_Powers_Combined

[lilac saffron]

Notable quest cheese: If Defend the Castle is an annoyance for you, you can lock yourself in the Armory. Some defenders are labeled as essential, so you can just hole up in there until the essentials wipe out all the enemies. While Survival may make this seem the best option, do note what happened to the last general who tried that trick if you don't bring enough water (or plant enough accessible crops or the like)

You can also cause a funnel by using Shack Foundations to seal off the wall breaches so only the main door is an access. This makes any massive enemies an instant pushover as long as you have a ranged option or a mechanized turret. To deal with the Brotherhood, simply arm a ton of turrets (preferably Rocket) to gun the Vertibirds before they can even deploy their troops.

[lilac saffron]

thank yhou

[unreal cloud]

Right forgot about that.

[unreal cloud]

U can also just hide in the walls once the queen crab shows up at the fort and shoot when she isn’t shooting her acid at you.

which is what I did because she was a very high level then me

[gray viper]

I need some opinions. Do you think the survival mode from Fallout 4 would make a good content for streaming?

I've played the game before, but not extensively, pretty much only went for main routes and achievements. Would it be entertaining, or would the more 'annoying' things get in the way?

[unreal cloud]

Sorta?

[marsh veldt]

Both

[gray viper]

What do you mean both? .w.

[coral shale]

cant go that way such lazy design

[nimble island]

Well, as a viewer, it might be frustrating watching someone have to do 30-60 minutes of content over because the saves are only at beds

[coral shale]

rockstar never does that

[lilac saffron]

Yesn't. Those little things really aren't intrusive, and does make the game significantly more interesting.

The main thing that will push you is saving and death. You will die. A lot. And where only using a bed works as a save, this can keep an audience the longer you go as it becomes larger risk with every step, but losing that roll of the dice can mean redoing content.

[nimble island]

It can be a fun challenge to play, but perhaps not to everyone's liking to watch

[lilac saffron]

And with how Survival works, Raiders and Ghouls (you know, the two most common enemies) are extraordinarily ready to help the Lone Survivor be reunited with their spouse.

[nimble island]

Then again, the streamers who I watch and support tend to play games I have absolutely no interest in and sometimes absolutely do not like to watch, but I watch them anyway because I like the streamers

[coral shale]

bethesda didnt make fallout rockstar made all their games

[lilac saffron]

...what? Bro it's in the startup sequence. If Bethesda didn't make it and Rockstar did, there'd have been a lawsuit.

[nimble island]

If you play on the PC, you can at least get a mod to remove the bed saving and save normally, or you can get the mod to enable console so you can just use the save command through that

[coral shale]

i never said rockstar mad fallout

[nimble island]

That's what I do since I like the survival mode otherwise, just can't play with 300+ mods in survival because something somewhere is going to crash and I'm not redoing long chunks of the game because of a mod crash 😁

[gray viper]

Well... Now that you mention all this well... I think I would hate to stream myself walking from Sanctuary to Diamond City for 5 times while I make sure to avoid all the enemies in the way

[lilac saffron]

"Bethesda didn't make fallout rockstar made all their games" literally the last message you sent.

[nimble island]

Yeah, save points are an acquired taste, not for me, I'll stick to regular saving, and it doesn't, in my view, contribute to "difficulty" in any way

[coral shale]

yes rockstar made all their games their own series

[lilac saffron]

For me, it definitely does. On top of everything else, it means the longer you go the more willing you have to be to spend resources to keep going before some enemy wipes you off the planet.

[nimble island]

Survival mode has some other fun features though aside from the bed saving

[coral shale]

they made 2 bad fallouts thats it

their is nothing to to in bethesdas open world except story

in rockstar games their is always tons of activities and ways to live in the worlds

[lilac saffron]

I'd argue the opposite. The main story is often lacking. However, many of the Sidequests like Human Error are really good.

[nimble island]

I've got 130 hours in GTA 5, 1000+ hours in Fallout 4 😁

To each their own though 🤷‍♂️

[lilac saffron]

And there's several places with their own sidequests and own connections.

[coral shale]

yeah side quests not activities that are infinetlyy playable...

like gambling, drug dealing, strip clubs, etc.

only in new vegas and they didnt make that

[lilac saffron]

And drug dealing in equal measure, both really simple things that are about as entertaining as FO4's radiant quests (which are infinitely repeatable)

[lilac saffron]

Question: Had the SAFE test been more effective, would you have sided with Covenant in Human Error or no?

[crisp stream]

no because they kill innocent people

Gen 3 synths are mass produced humans based on Shaun's DNA, with a little genetic modification to make them have indefinite lifespan and a brain chip

Covenant is just basically killing humans just because they're slightly different

[wooden cave]

I'm reminded of a scene from My Best Friend is a Vampire: The vampire hunter dude (played by what's-his-face, the bad guy from the first TRON) says that if he kills someone by stabbing them through the heart with a wooden stake, that proves they were a vampire.

Bonjour ou dois signaler un bug ?

*Où je dois signaler un bug

[pure sigil]

If you need help with a bug try,
#fallout-support if its a bug in the vanilla game.
#fallout-4-mods if it's a bug in a mod.

[lilac saffron]

Merci

[blazing swallow]

TBH I don't think the lifespan thing is part of the genetics I just think the ones who aren't going to be sent to the surface have more cybernetics like Kellogg's, as not aging would make them pretty easy to sus out with tests,

[mortal mulch]

hello, how can i turn my game in french ?

[hasty crater]

I asked chatgpt to write me an alternative ending to the institute with a twist:

At the end of the Fallout 4 game, the Sole Survivor has the choice to either destroy or spare the Institute. In this alternate ending, the Sole Survivor chooses to spare the Institute, and they are greeted by the organization's leader, Director Shaun.

The Institute is able to rebuild, and its members, including Father and the synth population, work tirelessly to develop new technologies that can help humanity rebuild and thrive after the nuclear war. They focus on creating advanced medical treatments that can cure previously incurable diseases, as well as clean energy sources that can power the wasteland.

The Institute's scientists also work on advanced manufacturing techniques that allow them to create new, high-tech products that were previously unimaginable. These advancements help the wasteland to rebuild faster and more efficiently than ever before.

The Institute becomes a beacon of hope and progress in the wasteland, and its members are hailed as heroes for their contributions to society. The organization works closely with the other factions in the wasteland, including the Brotherhood of Steel, the Railroad, and the Minutemen, to promote peace and cooperation.

As time goes on, the Institute becomes a vital part of the rebuilding effort, and its members work tirelessly to help humanity rise from the ashes of the nuclear war. The Institute's advanced technologies help to usher in a new era of prosperity and progress in the wasteland.

However, the Sole Survivor begins to have doubts about the Institute's true intentions. One day, they discover that the Institute has been secretly using their advanced technology to brainwash and control the other factions in the wasteland. The Institute's true goal is to create a world where they have complete control and power over the other factions, and they have been using their advanced technology to manipulate the other factions into submission.

The Sole Survivor is horrified by this revelation and must make a choice: continue to support the Institute and its insidious plans, or turn against them and risk everything to stop them.

In the end, the Sole Survivor chooses to fight against the Institute and leads a rebellion against them. With the help of the other factions, the Sole Survivor is able to defeat the Institute and restore peace and freedom to the wasteland.

The Institute is destroyed, and its members, including Director Shaun and Father, are brought to justice for their crimes. The wasteland is finally able to rebuild and thrive without the threat of the Institute hanging over it.

I then asked it to write me 10 new factions in the game
The Enlightened: a group of intellectuals and philosophers who believe in the power of knowledge and education to improve society. Their leader is a renowned scholar named Professor Sophia Bellamy.

The Industrialists: a coalition of business leaders and entrepreneurs who advocate for technological progress and economic growth. Their leader is a successful CEO named Jack Montgomery.

The Guardians: a military organization dedicated to protecting the commonwealth and its citizens. Their leader is a decorated war hero named General Benjamin Foster.

The Harmonizers: a spiritual group focused on promoting peace and unity among all people. Their leader is a renowned healer and meditation teacher named Sister Maryam.

The Reformers: a political movement dedicated to bringing about social and political change through peaceful means. Their leader is a charismatic activist named John Rodriguez.

The Pioneers: a group of explorers and adventurers who seek out new frontiers and experiences. Their leader is a fearless explorer named Captain Elizabeth Sawyer.

The Protectors: an environmental group dedicated to preserving the natural world and promoting sustainability. Their leader is a renowned scientist and conservationist named Dr. Sarah Williams.

The Creatives: a collective of artists and creators who believe in the power of art and creativity to inspire and transform society. Their leader is a talented musician and composer named Jamie Lee.

The Humanitarians: a group of compassionate individuals who work to provide aid and support to those in need. Their leader is a dedicated philanthropist named Rachel Kim.

The Visionaries: a forward-thinking group of innovators and futurists who believe in the potential of science and technology to improve the world. Their leader is a visionary inventor named Dr. Henry Chen.

I have a noobie question. I’m trying to download and run “Better Manufacturing” mod on XBOX One and it tells me that I don’t have the proper files installed yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction to correct this issue? What files do I need and how do I get them?

im testing this

[hasty crater]

Here are a few ideas for a Fallout 4 playthrough:

The Lone Wanderer: In this playthrough, you play as a lone survivor, making your way through the wasteland without joining any of the factions. You can choose to either help or hinder the various groups and settlements you come across, but ultimately you are on your own.

The Faction Player: In this playthrough, you choose to align yourself with one of the major factions in the game, such as the Minutemen, the Brotherhood of Steel, or the Railroad. Your goal is to help your chosen faction achieve its goals and come out on top in the power struggles between the different groups.

The Role-Playing Game: In this playthrough, you create a unique character with their own backstory and personality, and role-play as that character throughout the game. You can choose to join a faction or remain independent, and make decisions based on your character's motivations and beliefs.

The Pacifist: In this playthrough, you try to complete the game without killing any human characters. This can be a challenging but rewarding way to play, as you have to use your wits and diplomacy to avoid combat and resolve conflicts peacefully.

The Speedrunner: In this playthrough, your goal is to complete the game as quickly as possible. You can use any means necessary, including exploiting glitches and shortcuts, to race through the game and reach the ending as fast as you can.

[unreal cloud]

So the perks for companions. How do u know if u got them or not?

[crisp stream]

When you get a notification for it

It will be a pop up

[unreal cloud]

Ah alright

[crisp stream]

Also, there's 3 affinity dialogues for most companions usually

One where they tell you a bit about their stories, one where they tell you a bit more and maybe go on a quest and the last one where they thank you for everything and then you gain max affinity

[unreal cloud]

Ive done nicks where I helped him out with his quest finished it but didn’t get a notification about the perm

[crisp stream]

I believe you still need to travel with him for a bit longer and do stuff he likes

Check your perk menu for a perk called Close to Metal

[unreal cloud]

There’s nothing with close to metal in my perks

so ill likely just keep traveling with him for a bit

[crisp stream]

Okay, keep travelling with him and do stuff he likes/loves

[unreal cloud]

alright

[unreal cloud]

So i just shot an ennemy

and the game crashed as I did it

[unreal cloud]

and just got nicks perk less go

[lilac saffron]

Is it just me or is journeying with companions often way more trouble than it's worth in Survival?

Especially with how they seem to constantly look to pick fights. Especially Dogmeat.

Same for Ghouls, so little EXP and yet they have so high a chance for illnesses and the like, plus they deal an overwhelming amount of damage compared to most enemies in low levels.

[lilac saffron]

I feel like I actually should ask, what's a good level to be at Diamond City by?

Because I just realized the Super Mutant skirmish just outside had two with the skull marking, and the Mutant Hounds had an abominable amount of health.

[slate rock]

imo, any level

[lilac saffron]

So having the content around where DC is, I should be okay at LV6?

Notably on Survival, if that changes anything. Feels like everything hits like a freaking truck.

[slate rock]

as long as you don’t pick for a fight you won’t win(most people down there for a level 6 imo)

[lilac saffron]

Aye. Raiders and the like are pretty decent, as long as no Molotovs or Shotguns are used by them.

Dogs and Ghouls though give me conniptions

[slate rock]

yeah

i wouldn’t recommend going to get nick valentine tho

at a low level
idk it’s always been decently hard for me

[lilac saffron]

Yeah, not before I get Blitz or some levels of Toughness or something.

Up until like just now I was running on a Combat Helmet and unmodded Leather Armor, END 6 I think. Still got a few quests I started I need to finish.

[slate rock]

yeah

[lilac saffron]

Like, I just kinda walked off after unintentionally getting rooted in with Danse, and I left before Human Error could kick my ass with how many of them had Shotguns.

Ended up getting some Umpire Pads off a body from the Mutant skirmish, but just generally feeling undergeared lately.

[unreal cloud]

Super mutants suck to fight at any level tbh

ghouls are annoying in groups

bugs

screw them. They are so annoying to kill.

Crabs are annoying when u get cornerd

[lilac saffron]

I haven't gotten into many scuffles with Mirelurks yet.

Not with a melee build that is. I remember struggling with them using a Medium-Speed weapon since it's like the two of us would prep up attacks and all in perfect sync

...uh, how important is Blitz for melee builds again?
